Tour Operator
Action Peru Treks was started in 2015 by Roxner Cardenas, who was born in a small community outside of Machu Picchu and has trekked this area all of his life.
He has guided hundreds of groups on the Inca Trail, Ancascocha, Salkantay, Lares and the Choquequirao treks, both as a porter and a tour guide. He first visited Machu Picchu when he was 12 years old and was stunned by the history and architecture and decided to study to be a guide so he could share his culture and this beautiful landscape with others.
Roxner and his team at Action Peru Treks believes “action” accomplishes a purpose. That’s why you’ll be in good hands when you take action with us. Connect with breathtaking scenery, experience the wisdom and energy of Peru’s ancient lands first hand, and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
Action Peru Treks provides superior quality, authentic hikes, treks, and tours along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, Ancascocha, Salkantay, Lares, Choquequirao and more!
